Carrie - And Eve Was Weak Lyrics

Bow your head and pray, woman. And God made Eve from the rib of Adam, and Eve was weak and loosed the raven on the world. (Mama, it's not my fault.) And the raven was called sin. And God visited Eve with a curse,and the curse was the curse of blood. Say it woman.

And God made Eve from Adam's RibAnd Eve was weak. (Mama, how could I know?)And Eve was weak.And Eve was weak. (Why didn't you tell me?)

And God made Eve to bear the curse.The curse of blood, (It's not a curse.)The curse of blood. (Ms. Gardner said it's something all girls go through.)The curse of blood. (You should have told me!)

You're a woman now! Pray to heaven for your wicked soul!

The raven came to plague the world,Its name was sin (It's not a sin)Its name was sin (Oh, Mama, it's not a sin)Its name was sin, Begin!

And lust was how the sin beganThe sin was man (I don't understand)Well understand (No!)The sin was man (What have I done?)

God has seen your sinning,Just beginningPray for your salvationFrom DamnationPray orHe will burn youHe will burn you

The seed conveys the powerAnd it's come again (Mama, what is the seed?)It's come again (Don't you care)It's come again (That I started to bleed?)

Until the seed is crushedThe power never endsIt never endsIt never ends

(Mama, I was so scared and they all staredThen I started crying I thought I was dying Mama!)Have you no sense of shame? (Please don't hurt me)Pray for mercy, get down on your knees. (Please don't hurt me)Satan's staking his claim'Cause your soul is a hole of disease

I can see you inside (Don't believe with your eyes)Full of sin, full of pride! (Those are lies, Mama, lies!)That's how Lucifer fell (Mama, how could I know?)And you're headed for HellI won't let you go! (Mama, let me go!)Heaven hates a sinner!Hates a sinner (I'm not a sinner)Save your soul from burning (Mama, stop it's burning!)God, she's burning (Stop it's burning!)Pray or (No! Mama, please!)He will burn you (Stop!)He will burn you

And God made Eve from Adam's RibAnd Eve was weak.And Eve was weak.And I was weak.

I prayed this day would never come,I should have known,I should have known,Now I'm alone.

I'm so afraidOh Lord, I've seen this power beforeThe flesh is weak and I imploreFather, don't forsake herFather, take herCleanse and purify herWith the fireAnd the powerAnd the gloryForever,And ever,And ever,Amen!
